Conventionally, those described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 are known as rocker arms. As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, this type of rocker arm is formed with a pair of support portions 101 divided into two forks at the front end portion of the arm body 100, and both ends of the shaft 103 of the roller 102 are formed by the support portions 101. The roller 102 is configured to roll on the outer peripheral surface of a cam lobe (not shown). The rocker arm R swings while the front end is reciprocated by rolling the roller 102 to the cam lobe, and a valve (not shown) is opened and closed as the rocker arm R swings.
JP-A-3-242407 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-321615

近年、低燃費化等のためにロッカアームRの軽量化が望まれているが、軽量化の一手段としては、ロッカアームRの揺動中心から偏心した前端部の重量を軽減するために支持部101を薄肉にする方法が考えられる。ところが、支持部101は、片持ち状に延出した形態であるため、薄肉にしてしまうと、ローラ102のシャフト103を支持するための強度が保てなくなる。
本発明は上記のような事情に基づいて完成されたものであって、ローラを支持している支持部の軽量化を実現することを目的とする。
In recent years, it has been desired to reduce the weight of the rocker arm R in order to reduce fuel consumption. As one means for reducing the weight, the support portion 101 is used to reduce the weight of the front end portion that is eccentric from the rocking center of the rocker arm R. It is conceivable to thin the wall. However, since the support portion 101 has a form extending in a cantilever manner, the strength for supporting the shaft 103 of the roller 102 cannot be maintained if the support portion 101 is thin.
The present invention has been completed based on the above-described circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to realize a weight reduction of a support portion that supports a roller.

上記の目的を達成するための手段として、請求項1の発明は、アーム本体の端部に、二股状に分かれて片持ち状に延出する形態の一対の支持部を形成し、前記一対の支持部の間に配置したローラを、前記一対の支持部によって回転可能に支持したロッカアームであって、前記一対の支持部における先端部同士を連結部によって連結したところに特徴を有する。   As a means for achieving the above object, the invention according to claim 1 is characterized in that a pair of support portions are formed at the ends of the arm body so as to be bifurcated and extend in a cantilever manner. A rocker arm in which a roller disposed between support portions is rotatably supported by the pair of support portions, and is characterized in that tip portions of the pair of support portions are connected by a connection portion.

また、この請求項の発明は、前記連結部を前記ローラに近接した位置に配置し、前記連結部に、上方へ延出することで前記支持部の表面から弾き飛ばされたオイルを受け止める受け片を形成したところに特徴を有する。 The invention of the first aspect, the pre-Symbol connecting portion is disposed at a position close to said roller, said coupling portion, receiving the play skipped oil from the surface of the support portion by extending upward It is characterized in that a receiving piece is formed.

<請求項1の発明>
一対の支持部はアーム本体から片持ち状に延出するのであるが、一対の支持部の先端部同士を連結部によって連結したので、支持部が変形し難くなり、その分、支持部を薄肉化することができる。これにより、支持部、即ちアーム本体の端部を軽量化することができる。
<Invention of Claim 1>
The pair of support portions cantilevered from the arm main body, but since the tip portions of the pair of support portions are connected to each other by the connection portion, the support portions are difficult to deform, and the support portions are thinned accordingly. Can be Thereby, a support part, ie, the edge part of an arm main body, can be reduced in weight.

また、支持部から弾き飛ばされたオイルは、受け片で受け止められ、重力により受け片から連結部へ流れ落ちる。連結部はローラに接近して配置されているので、連結部に流れ落ちたオイルはローラに伝わる。 Further, the oil blown off from the support portion is received by the receiving piece and flows down from the receiving piece to the connecting portion by gravity. Since the connecting portion is disposed close to the roller, the oil that has flowed down to the connecting portion is transmitted to the roller.

参考形態1>
以下、本発明の参考形態1を図1乃至図7を参照して説明する。本参考形態1のロッカアームRaは、前後方向に長いアーム本体10と、アーム本体10の前端部に回転可能に支持したローラ20と、アーム本体10の後端部に設けたアジャストスクリュ25とを備えて構成されている。ロッカアームRaは、その長さ方向略中央位置の軸嵌孔18に嵌合した支持軸30を中心として、前端部側と後端部側を交互に上下動させるように揺動し得るようになっている。ローラ20は、略卵形をなすカムロブ31の外周上端部に当接し、アジャストスクリュ25の下端面は上方へ付勢されたバルブステム32の上端に当接させている。カムロブ31が回転すると、カムロブ31の外周上をローラ20が転動することによってロッカアームRaが揺動し、バルブステム32が上下に往復移動するようになっている。
< Reference form 1>
Will be described below reference embodiment 1 of the present invention with reference to FIGS. Rocker arm Ra of the reference embodiment 1 is provided with a long arm body 10 in the longitudinal direction, and the roller 20 which is rotatably supported on a front end portion of the arm body 10, and a adjusting screw 25 provided at a rear end portion of the arm body 10 Configured. The rocker arm Ra can swing so that the front end side and the rear end side are alternately moved up and down around the support shaft 30 fitted in the shaft fitting hole 18 at a substantially central position in the length direction. ing. The roller 20 is in contact with the upper end of the outer periphery of the cam lobe 31 having a substantially egg shape, and the lower end surface of the adjusting screw 25 is in contact with the upper end of the valve stem 32 biased upward. When the cam lobe 31 rotates, the roller 20 rolls on the outer periphery of the cam lobe 31 to swing the rocker arm Ra, so that the valve stem 32 reciprocates up and down.

アーム本体10の前端部には、二股に分かれて前方へ片持ち状に延出した形態の左右一対の支持部11が形成されている。この一対の支持部11はロッカアームRaの揺動方向と平行な板状をなし、この両支持部11には、左右方向に貫通する円形の軸受孔12が同軸状に形成されている。支持部11は、側方から見ると概ね三角形をなしており、支持部11の延出端部は軸受孔12と同心の円弧形をなしている。また、支持部11の外側面は、アーム本体10における軸嵌孔18の周縁部領域及び軸嵌孔18からアーム本体10の後端部に至る領域の外側面に比べると、段差状に凹んだ形態となっている。つまり、支持部11の形成されている前端部の幅寸法は、それ以外の幅寸法よりも小さい寸法とされ、支持部11のみが幅狭となっている。両支持部11の間は、上方、前方及び下方に開放された収容空間13となっており、この収容空間13内にはローラ20が収容されている。   A pair of left and right support portions 11 are formed at the front end portion of the arm body 10 so as to be bifurcated and extend forward in a cantilevered manner. The pair of support portions 11 have a plate shape parallel to the rocking direction of the rocker arm Ra, and both support portions 11 are formed with coaxial bearing holes 12 passing through in the left-right direction. The support portion 11 has a substantially triangular shape when viewed from the side, and the extending end portion of the support portion 11 has an arc shape concentric with the bearing hole 12. Further, the outer surface of the support portion 11 is recessed in a stepped manner compared to the peripheral region of the shaft fitting hole 18 in the arm body 10 and the outer surface of the region extending from the shaft fitting hole 18 to the rear end portion of the arm body 10. It has a form. That is, the width dimension of the front end portion where the support portion 11 is formed is smaller than the other width dimensions, and only the support portion 11 is narrow. Between the two support portions 11 is an accommodation space 13 opened upward, forward and downward, and a roller 20 is accommodated in the accommodation space 13.

ローラ20は、円環形をなし、内周にニードルベアリング21の外周を固着したニードルローラと称されるものである。ニードルベアリング21の中心孔には、円柱形又は円筒形のシャフト22が相対回転可能に嵌合されている。シャフト22の両端部は、両支持部11の軸受孔12に嵌合され、図6及び図7に示すように、ポンチPをシャフト22の両端面に打ち込んでシャフト22の両端部を拡径変形させることで、その拡径した部分が軸受孔12に対して密着するように固着されている。これにより、シャフト22の両端部が、軸受孔12(支持部11)に対して軸線方向の相対移動及び軸線回りの相対回転を規制された状態に固着され、もって、収容空間13内に収容したローラ20が一対の支持部11によって回転可能に支持されている。支持部11に取り付けられたローラ20は、その外周縁部のうち少なくとも下端側部分を支持部11よりも下方へ突出させた状態となっている。詳細には、ローラ20の下端部から前端部に亘って支持部11の外部へ突出している。   The roller 20 has an annular shape and is referred to as a needle roller in which the outer periphery of the needle bearing 21 is fixed to the inner periphery. A columnar or cylindrical shaft 22 is fitted into the center hole of the needle bearing 21 so as to be relatively rotatable. Both end portions of the shaft 22 are fitted into the bearing holes 12 of the both support portions 11, and as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the punches P are driven into both end surfaces of the shaft 22, and the both end portions of the shaft 22 are expanded in diameter. By doing so, the expanded portion is fixed so as to be in close contact with the bearing hole 12. As a result, both end portions of the shaft 22 are fixed in a state in which relative movement in the axial direction and relative rotation around the axial line are restricted with respect to the bearing hole 12 (support portion 11), and thus are accommodated in the accommodating space 13. The roller 20 is rotatably supported by the pair of support portions 11. The roller 20 attached to the support portion 11 is in a state where at least the lower end side portion of the outer peripheral edge portion protrudes downward from the support portion 11. Specifically, the roller 20 projects from the lower end portion to the front end portion to the outside of the support portion 11.

また、一対の支持部11には、その延出端(前端)同士を連結する形態の連結部14が一体に形成されている。連結部14は、ローラ20よりも前方であって、ローラ20の回転中心とほぼ同じ高さに配置されており、これにより、ローラ20を、連結部14と干渉させることなく、下方から収容空間13内に組み付けることができるようになっている。連結部14は、支持部11の前端から前方へ突出する一対の延出片15と、この両延出片15の延出端同士を繋ぐ連結片16とからなる。延出片15は、支持部11に対して面一状をなす。即ち、延出片15の外側面は支持部11の外側面に対して面一状に連続し、延出片15の内側面は支持部11の内側面に対して面一状に連続する。つまり、延出片15の左右方向の厚さ寸法Daは支持部11の厚さDaと同じである。また、連結片16の前後方向の厚さ寸法は、延出片15の厚さと同じかそれよりも小さい寸法である。この連結片16の後面(ローラ20との対向面)は、ローラ20と同心の円弧面となっている。この連結片16の後面とローラ20の外周面とは接近した位置関係となっている。一方、連結片16の前面(ローラ20と非対応の面)もローラ20と同心の円弧面となっている。   The pair of support portions 11 are integrally formed with a connection portion 14 that connects the extended ends (front ends) thereof. The connecting portion 14 is disposed in front of the roller 20 and at substantially the same height as the rotation center of the roller 20, whereby the accommodation space is formed from below without causing the roller 20 to interfere with the connecting portion 14. 13 can be assembled. The connecting portion 14 includes a pair of extending pieces 15 protruding forward from the front end of the support portion 11, and a connecting piece 16 that connects the extending ends of the extending pieces 15. The extension piece 15 is flush with the support portion 11. That is, the outer surface of the extended piece 15 is flush with the outer surface of the support portion 11, and the inner surface of the extended piece 15 is flush with the inner surface of the support portion 11. That is, the thickness dimension Da in the left-right direction of the extension piece 15 is the same as the thickness Da of the support portion 11. Further, the thickness dimension of the connecting piece 16 in the front-rear direction is the same as or smaller than the thickness of the extending piece 15. The rear surface of the connecting piece 16 (the surface facing the roller 20) is an arc surface concentric with the roller 20. The rear surface of the connecting piece 16 and the outer peripheral surface of the roller 20 are in a close positional relationship. On the other hand, the front surface (surface not corresponding to the roller 20) of the connecting piece 16 is also an arc surface concentric with the roller 20.

参考形態のロッカアームRaは、一対の支持部11をアーム本体10から前方へ片持ち状に延出した形態となっているのであるが、一対の支持部11の先端部同士を連結部14によって連結したので、支持部11が変形し難くなり、その分、支持部11を薄肉化することが可能となった。図9及び図10に示す従来のロッカアームRと比較すると、本参考形態の支持部11の厚さ寸法Daは従来の支持部101の厚さ寸法Dよりも薄くしている。このように本参考形態では、支持部11を薄肉化したことにより、支持部11、即ちアーム本体10の前端部を軽量化することが実現されている。 Rocker arm Ra of the reference embodiment, although has become a form extending cantilevered forwardly a pair of support portions 11 from the arm main body 10, the connecting portion 14 of the distal ends of the pair of support portions 11 Since it connected, it became difficult to deform | transform the support part 11, and it became possible to make the support part 11 thin by that much. Compared to conventional rocker arm R shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the thickness Da of the support portion 11 of this preferred embodiment is thinner than the thickness D of the conventional support member 101. Thus in this preferred embodiment, by a supporting portion 11 was thinned, it is possible to reduce the weight of the front end portion of the support portion 11, i.e. the arm body 10 is realized.

<実施形態
以下、本発明を具体化した実施形態を図8を参照して説明する。本実施形態のロッカアームRbは、上記参考形態1のロッカアームRaにおいて、ローラ20にオイルを供給し易くするための手段として、連結部14に受け片17を設けたものである。受け片17は、連結部14の連結片16から上方へ板状に延出させた形態であり、受け片17の上端部は、前方(支持部11)から離間する方向へ傾いている。
本実施形態によれば、支持部11の表面に付着しているオイルの一部は、ロッカアームRbの揺動が繰り返されることにより、支持部11から斜め上前方へ弾き飛ばされ、はじき飛ばされたオイルは、受け片17の後面(支持部11と対向する面)で受け止められ、重力により受け片17から連結片16の後面へ流れ落ちる。連結片16の後面はローラ20の外周面に接近して配置されているので、連結部14に流れ落ちたオイルはローラ20に伝わる。
尚、受け片17以外の構成については上記参考形態1と同じであるため、同じ構成については、同一符号を付し、構造、作用及び効果の説明は省略する。
<Embodiment 1 >
A first embodiment embodying the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. Rocker arm Rb of the embodiment 1, in the rocker arm Ra of the Reference Embodiment 1, as a means to facilitate supplying oil to the roller 20, is provided with a receiving piece 17 in the connecting part 14. The receiving piece 17 is a form that extends upward in a plate shape from the connecting piece 16 of the connecting portion 14, and the upper end portion of the receiving piece 17 is inclined in a direction away from the front (supporting portion 11).
According to the first embodiment, a part of the oil adhering to the surface of the support part 11 is flipped off from the support part 11 diagonally upward and forward by repeated rocking of the rocker arm Rb.
